Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 635 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 635 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

635 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 635 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1071.7592592583 ft/s

The final result is:

635 kt → 1071.7592592583 ft/s

We conclude that 635 knots is equivalent to 1071.7592592583 feet per second:

635 knots = 1071.7592592583 feet per second

Alternative conversion
